Two South Kalgoorlie Primary School students have designed a large-scale mural that will form a lasting celebration of the school’s multiculturalism and diversity for years to come.

Earlier this year students were asked to submit their ideas for a mural representing the diverse school community to replace an old existing mural in the school’s covered assembly area.

The winning design was created by two Year 6 students Jada Evans and Mack Feng and features a map of Australia filled with national flags from across the world representing the nation and the school’s diverse identity.

Deputy principal Kathleen Cambetis said the process had brought out the best in the students and resulted in a tribute the whole school community was proud to call their own.

“The students were very engaged in the process and there were some outstanding designs. It was a wonderful process,” she said.

“Our principal Katherine Grant and the two students drew the design and, with the help of senior students and our gardener Steve O’Donnell, completed the mural together.

“The students’ design is symbolic to linking the cultures that make up our school community.

“The students who helped have all added their hand prints to the artwork and it will be a source of pride for years to come.”
